The name of the firm goes back to 1911. Max Guyer and Dardo Regules developed a close friendship when going through Law School together.

Upon graduating together, they decided to jointly set up a law firm.

At that time in Uruguay, the individual practice of the law was customary, so at the beginning, the association between the two young lawyers did not go much further than the sharing of expenses.

The name “Estudio Guyer & Regules”, though, was in use from the beginning.

Dardo Regules, a law generalist, developed a public image as one of the leaders of “Unión Cívica”, the Catholic party at the time. His reputation for integrity was such that in a politically turbulent atmosphere, despite his distinct discrepancies with the Government, he was appointed Home Secretary (Ministro del Interior), in control of the police and the electoral process. After a peaceful completion of his term of office, he returned to private practice.

When in 1961, Dardo Regules, the last of the founders, passed away, several younger lawyers who had joined the firm in the preceding years, under the leadership of Gilberto Regules, Dardo’s son, preserved the values and excellence of the firm. Gilberto conceived the bases on which the modern firm is set.

When he died in 1992, his was succeeded by the third generation of professionals, who, following his steps, has had the responsibility of guiding the firm along the way of those same values.

For more than twenty years I have worked with the team at Guyer & Regules and they keep amazing me with their ability to provide quick and complete responses to any issue... however, what I value the most, is their expertise in foreseeing the relevant issues before these turn into problems, which allows us to be unconcerned and dedicate ourselves entirely to the growth of our business.
